The idea that they have a monopoly on empathy and compassion are classic othering techniques. The entire problem with the Left is that they consider the Right as The Other. This is the best explanation I've ever heard at this link. A bit long but worth reading every word because it answers SO many questions. http://archive.is/QRJ6m

Only they can be human, the rest of us are faceless monsters. I also love how non-Christians get to lecture Christians on Christian values.

I find shocking the depth of bonds which can be sacrificed in someone's antipathy toward "the other". People's ideology of "good vs evil" will break any bond which crosses it. The most perfect emblem for this are the documented cases of brothers on opposite sides in various civil wars. A person who shares your biology as closely as possible, and shares your upbringing as closely as possible, and yet that person finds themselves in the "other" camp, and becomes so loathesome they must be destroyed.

I am for the first time in my life experiencing a muted version of this effect within my birth family. I have become the "other" for all my family members - parents and siblings - because of my views on Covid. Nobody is trying to destroy me, but at the same time, I am now shunned from family gatherings because of my perception of the world. This is a shocking sensation.

The mystery of this effect eats at my soul. It is arguably the greatest cruelty God has designed into our universe.

You think they didn't know that when they set us against each other like this?

Although I agree with you (these effects are indeed known and manipulated by the gatekeepers), their role in this thread is not what bothers me. I'm not interested right now in the string pullers. I'm shocked by those having our strings pulled. These are decent people; they want what we all want, and in their hearts, they want me to be happy. But they are so enthralled to the ideas they have been exposed to that they have decided that Anthony Fauci provides them a more trustable and "safe" perspective than their own kin. They would allow him at their table before allowing me. Yes, the controllers want this and they are working for it; it's fine with them. But how do decent people fall for it, getting their priorities and "in" and "out" circles so thoroughly screwed up? That's what's keeping me up at night.

edit to add: not doing a very good job of going with the "funny" listing. Sorry about that.

Propaganda works. Always has. Always will.

You have to realize that the people doing this are highly skilled and psychological manipulation has come a long way in the past decade or so. Making us fight with one another keeps us weak, and that's exactly what they want.
